Time piece with LED light means

ABSTRACT

A time piece with LED light means adapted a simple light-medium body with very rough finish to allow the LED(s) pass though the input-end(s) and make majority light beams travel within the body to get very even brightness on all surface of the said light medium to be seen by viewer. Incorporating with milky/frosted front sheet overlay the said light-medium surface can get perfect photometric effects. The movement for time display for analog time piece with build-in light-medium on top cover of the said movement will get super slim LED illumination for time piece. For night light application, the sealed-unit consist of prong-means and LED related circuit to seal within a safety standard plastic material and assembly with night light body can save a lot of cost and may use all kind materials to do rest part of night light to increase the big flexibility for eye-catching design. Same as LCD display time piece.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION

From the FIG. 1, The time piece (19) with LED light means have the movement (28) and sealed-unit (18) inside housing (2). The sealed unit which have may have any combination selected from LED(s), LED circuit, control means, sensor means, switch means, prong means, this is good for the safety reason because prong means (9) and the LED circuit (not shown) and LED(s) has electric contact with live wires (high voltage) so it need to be meet the safety standard which have very strict material requirement from UL. It is very safety to put all these parts into the sealed unit and to meet the safety standard of the flammable requirement. All rest parts such as movement, light-medium, front sheet (milky or frosted treated sheet) or other housing will not required meet the other safety standard if all parts are sealed by required material. This is one of the features of current invention. It will help on the product design and cost saving issue.

From FIG. 1, The arms (5) (6) (7) are well install on the movement (28) axis to make the accurate time display to viewer. The prong means on the back of the housing (2) which may use fix angle or swivel angle construction from conventional available skills. The housing (2) has the sensor means (1) and extra light means (8) on desired location of the said housing (2) so it will offer function to activate the said LED(s) and extra illumination to the floor with stronger light beams.

From FIG. 2 disclosure the 2^(nd) embodiment have the Dial face (35) with color changing effects. The time piece (30) has a 2^(nd) light means on lower portion to offer the 2^(nd) lit-area of the time piece (30). This is same as co-pending filing Ser. No. 11/255,981 same scope and we will not discuss further more.

From FIG. 3 disclosure the 3^(rd) embodiment has the Dial face (32) and the housing (33) multiple areas with the light effects including the dail face (32) with surface illumination and the housing (33) with a lot of Fiber Optics illumination in dots, logo, name, shape, configuration illumination which may incorporating the Fiber Optics skill, light-medium skill to get these effects. The Time piece may be a wall clock, alarm, night light with analog movement or the others as conventional market available models and options.

From FIG. 4 disclosure the details construction of preferable Time piece with LED light means. The movement (80) has its installation points (8A) (8B) (8C) (8D) to allow the movement (80) can tight assembly with the lower housing (81). The prong means (8X) (8Z) are insert into the housing slots (8Y) (8Z′) to allow night light to get the electric power from the power source (here prefer 110Volt AC, 60 hz from home wall outlet in north American area). The lower housing (81) have the movement compartment (8G) to allow movement (80) can fit in tight. The lower housing (81) also have the walls arrangement to make the inner space can install movement (80), light-medium (8K), LED sealed unit (82), prong means (8X) (8Z) on idea locations. The light-medium (8K) have holes (8I) (8L) (8U) has its related screw (8J) (8M) (8T) to allow the light-medium to fasten on the lower housing holes (8E) (8H) (8X′). The light-medium (8K) have the plurality of the input-end such as the right one (8V) which can allow the respectively (8V′) install within the input-end (8V) to allow majority of the LED (8V′) light beams get into the light-medium (8K) and travel within the light-medium (8K) and allow view to see the brightness of whole surface of the light-medium unit. The light-medium (8K) made by plastic material with roughly treatment on its surface by sand-blaster or tooling-texture process (or equivalent skill from conventional market available skills). The rough surface will block out the majority light beams to pass though the edge and make a diffusion to make the light beams traveling within the light-medium because the light-medium is much clear and can let light beam traveling but it will be block out by its rough surface so all light beams will traveling within the medium without big loose to outside. Because the majority of light beams travel within the medium in quantity are much more than the leakage to the outside though the rough surface, so the inner light beams back and forth very fast to make the whole light-medium have almost same photometric scale for the brightness. This is the 1^(st) treatment to make the LED point brightness to the area brightness. The current invention adapted the milky or frosted front sheet to overlay on top of the light-medium is the 2^(nd) treatment to make the light brightness to very even on front of the light-medium. This is totally different with all prior arts such as Kibiloski U.S. Pat. No. 6,987,710 and U.S. Pat. No. 7,054,233 for Wall clock and Alarm clock applications. The Kibiloski treatment which apply the illumination module back side with reflect properties to make all the LED light beams travel within and out from the front surface is not workable at all. The Kibiloski theory is not real and not practically at all. It have to be have all 5 side of the said illumination module been sealed by mirror like reflectors material without any light beams been leakage from these 5 sides, then, it maybe can get the result. However, it will be a lot of labor with so details work which is not practical for mass production for standard quality requirement. The current invention has features for simple, uniform, easily operation and low cost, less labor involved features.

The arms (8S) (8R) (8Q) are install on the movement (80) axis (8C) as normal installation to show the time message to viewer.

The arms protective cover (84) preferable is clear to allow viewers to see the arms location to know time message. An upper housing (85) are cover to the lower housing (81) with tightness to prevent from other parts within been loosen or fall apart while apply the drop testament on the said time piece.

From FIG. 5 disclosure the side view of the preferable embodiment, The time piece has movement (40) dispose within the back housing (46′) with axis (45) to install the arms (not shown). The movement (40) has one thick light-medium (44) which can allow LED(s) (49) whole body within the light-medium so all light beams will get into the light-medium (44) without leakage to outside. The light-medium (44) have very rough surface by sand-blaster or tooling-texture or adding milky compound or other conventional market available skills to make it very rough on its entire surface as earlier discussion. The light beams travel within the light-medium and quickly back and forth to make the bright spot LED change from point light to surface light is the current invention features. None of people apply this before the current invention. In front of the light-medium has a milky or frosted front sheet (not shown) which can make-up for any bright and dark areas into perfectly photometric illumination. By these two treatments, the dial face will have perfectly brightness on every points of the entire dial face surface. A clear arms protective cover (43) are tightly fit and assembly within the front housing (42) (46) to the back housing (46′) and fasten by tighten means may selected from screws, solvent, sonic sealing, glue, rivet, or other equivalent skills from the art. The prong means (48) and LED (49) are designed into the earlier said sealed unit so this will be very safety than any other models which all electric components are exposure to the air which is costly because all material have to use V-0 Flammable grade to pass UL standard with very thick wall thickness and have to buy from certain UL listed supplier. The axis (45) to install the second, minutes, hour, or time setting need to be longer enough to allow the added light-medium thickness can properly fit top of the movement cover and under the arms. There may have the decorative dial face, stencil, milky/frosted front sheet with printing, logo, marking, 12 designs on the position on top of the light-medium unit. The movement have to be special made to have longer axis than any other conventional time piece movement.

From FIG. 6 disclosure the alternative embodiment which not only the dial face (67) has illumination but also for the exterior housing areas (62′) (62) has illumination too. The rest of the parts arrangement is similar with the FIG. 5. From the FIG. 6, the extra LED(s) are extended from the sealed unit housing by conductive wires to space (62′) and (62). These two space filled with certain material such as Opaque Poly material so can allow the light passing though and also have certain percentage light beams will be travel within the material so can make a very good light effects. This embodiment teach a plurality areas of time piece has the illumination arrangement not only at the dial face, housing, but also the other areas which for decoration or value-appearance purpose required such areas. The axis (68) to install the second, minutes, hour, or time setting need to be longer enough to allow the added light-medium thickness can properly fit top of the movement cover and under the arms. There may have the decorative dial face, stencil, milky/frosted front sheet with printing, logo, marking, 12 designs on the position on top of the light-medium unit. The movement has to be special made to have longer axis than any other conventional time piece movement.

From the FIG. 7 disclosure the round movement (7 a) which have its power source may selected from wall outlet power source such as 110-250 Volt AC with certain frequency. Or/ the power can be come from Dry battery or batteries. Or/ the power can get from solar panel and its energy saving device. The movement has at least one adjustable kit to allow people to make time, alarm, time setting, music, noisy, record sound, snoozer, switch, sensor or the other function available from conventional market available functions with its adjustable kit respectively. The movement also has a lot of terminals to allow people to make multiple functions while the proper device connected to the functions terminal ends (7 c). From FIG. 7 right hand side view drawing can see the light-medium (6 g) is part of the movement. The cover of the movement (6 e) has light-medium functions which means can allow the LED(s) to install on the input-end (6 f) and make the light travel within the light-medium (6 g) and has the very even brightness on its entire surface. This will make the entire time piece with much slim and compact size because save a movement cover thickness than any other invention. This is very important for this thickness reduce to meet market requirement. The axis (6 a) passing though the light-medium (6g) center hole to make the arms installation. The build-in sealed unit which have the LED (s), LED circuit or other required electric components, power source to make the LED(s) be turn on under predetermined timing for desired functions and period of time. The LED(s) (6 b) (6 d) may install on the said sealed unit housing or connect with sealed unit housing by conductive wires and disposed within the light-medium walls.

From FIG. 7-1 Disclosure the round movement has the light-medium as part of the top cover with axis hole. The movement lower housing has diameter “d” and upper light-medium cover has diameter “1×d” with desired LED input-end(s) extended from edge or desired location.

From FIG. 7-2 Disclosure the round movement has the light-medium as part of the top cover with axis hole. The movement lower housing has diameter “d” and upper light-medium cover has diameter “1/N×d” (N can be any number) with desired LED input-end(s) extended from edge or desired location.

From FIG. 7-3 Disclosure the movement has the light-medium as part of the top cover with axis hole. The movement lower housing has diameter “d” and upper light-medium cover has diameter “N×d” (N can be any number) with desired LED input-end(s) extended from edge or desired location.

From FIG. 7-4 Disclosure the rectangular movement with has the light-medium as part of the top cover with axis hole. The movement lower housing has diameter “S×S′” and upper light-medium cover has diameter “L×L′” with desired LED input-end(s) extended from edge or desired location. The rectangular shape movement may has additional features may selected from group combination from pendulum, alarm, bell, music, recorder, vibration, flash light or other features available from market place.

From FIG. 8 disclosure the preferable movement (50) which is the most low cost unit from conventional market available item. The lower housing (50′) has movement components including electric-coil (5 a), output terminals (5 b), axis (5 c), gear sets (5 d), battery “+” terminal (5 e), battery “−” terminal (5 f) and other Quartz kit (not shown) to make the movement have good accuracy to allow arms (not shown) to show the time message and functions to consumers. The entire space of the most low cost unit has plenty of the empty space as drawing shown. The current invention to apply such empty space to install the LED(s), LED circuit, and some necessary control means and parts (may including prong means) within the lower housing (50′) and make the new top cover with axis hole with light-medium properties. This will allow the whole movement with build-in LED light functions.

If the build-in LED light device are powered by movement battery (this case the movement and LED light device are powered by same battery power source), the LED light will be only turn on after sensor device been trigger for short time illumination such as LED are activated by motion sensor to turn on for limited short time period.

If the build-in LED light device are connected with wall outlet power source (for example 110 Volt AC 60 Hz) though the prong means (I.E. the movement is power by the battery and LED device power by the wall outlet power source), then, the LED light device can be have always “On” because the power source is unlimited energy for the said LED device which maybe only 0.3-1 Watt power consumption. Even, some design with very strange power source design such as LED light device and movement both connected with the wall outlet power which will cause the movement stop work while the prong or conductive means are terminate with wall outlet power source. Each time this termination happened, the consumer has to adjustable time again. For example, the clock is install on bathroom, while you want to use hair dryer, then, unplug the clock, then, you have to adjustable time again each time whenever unplug the clock from wall outlet. This is funny and stupid design. Basing on this unplug issue happened, so the current invention also adapted the multiple function time piece which have the receptacle (1) on front of the time piece as FIG. 1. The receptacle preferable with grounded end so can meet all different electric devices such as hair dryer, electric tooth brush, electric tooth water jet . . . which may has grounded prong design.

The LCD (90′) is made         glass which can be treated to the very rough surface as current         invention's requirement. This special made glass with rough         surface on exterior of LCD (90′) with thick glass thickness to         allow the LED(s) (92) (92′) disposed within the glass thickness         on the input-ends (99) (99′). The other parts such as LED sealed         unit (91), prong means (97) maybe fixed type or swivel type as         wish, back holder (94), light-medium (if not apply the rough         surface on LCD glass, the light-medium can supply back light to         said LCD as earlier discussion), LCD weather station message         display may has message including but not limited such as         Temperature (98′), Time (98″), date (98′″) or any other such as         humility (not shown), Calendar (not shown), month (not shown),         or other message which available from conventional market. The         build-in LCD dot-matrix display has LED light-medium to make it         glow. The light-medium can be the LCD glass or separated plastic         piece as long as adapted the sand-blaster or conventional skills         to make the said LCD glass or separated piece with rough surface         to get the light medium properties. The LCD display can be fully         transparent or the semi-transparent type which do not affect the         LED light-medium too much.

From FIG. 10 disclosure the project time piece (2 a) image seen by viewer. The image (2 a) is project from the lower dial face (2 g) which have movement (not shown) and LED sealed unit (2 e) as normal time piece but though a thick liquid optics device (2 b) to make the lower dial face's message to transfer to the viewer face (2 a) with correct orientation for hour, minute, second arms and marking. The thick liquid optic device (2 b) may have a lot of miniatures with special treatment such as the magnetic base to make magnetic reaction with the second arm so the turtle (2 c) will stick with the second arm for each second to move. The turtle (2 c) have tiny wires to connect with Duck 1 (2 c′) and duck 2 (2 c″) to increase the very valuable appearance to all viewer especially for kids. The swivel prong means (2 d) are good because this time piece can be act as desk top clock or night-light clock for two applications as consumer multiple purpose time piece.

From FIG. 11, The analog time piece (110) has at least 3 arms (11 g) (11 h) (111) to show the time message of hour, minute, second to viewer though the protective cover (11 a). The protective cover (11 a) made of clear plastic which may have texture or milky/frosted on the area which are not in front of dial face (11 d). The texture or milky/frosted surface treatment will let the cover (11 a) has the said light-medium properties so can allow the light beams travel within the cover and majority light beam will be seen on the cover surface.
